This free event is CLIMARTE's inaugural Melbourne Fringe Festival collaboration and to join the conversation please register.
There is a public conversation from 3pm to 4 pm about the project. Following a presentation by Sharon, we will have a facilitated conversation with key architects of the City of Yarra's globally leading Climate Emergency Plan 2024-2030, the discussion will explore the practical role that artists, creative practice and culture plays in best practice policy development.
Every day award winning botanical artist Sharon Field draws and paints a species directly onto her Scrolls to “tell a story with a lasting visual impact”.
She started this epic project on Earth Day (26 March) in 2022 and is committed to continuing until Earth Day 2030 with the aim of "engaging as many people as I can to join me in doing everything in their power to halt the damage and begin healing ecosystems".
